Route: leaving the car at Longlands (empty at 10am, full by 12:30) and heading east on a level track across grass to the end of Longlands Fell's northerly ridge and then up that (cutting the corner) on a grassy, occasionally marshy, route to the summit. Then down and up Lowthwaite Fell and down again to join a bridleway to Little Sca Fell and Great Sca Fell. Down the ridge to Meal Fell and on to drop down to Trusmadoor and over marshy ground to reach a bridleway back to the start.
Conditions: a low sun giving excellent views but a cold wind.
Pub: the Crown at Hesket Newmarket being closed at lunchtime, the Oddfellows, Caldbeck for Jennings Cocker Hoop and lunch, joined by Mark and Helen Richards.
